We deduce on hourly basis the spatial gradient of the cosmic ray density in three dimensions from the directional anisotropy of high-energy (~50 GeV) galactic cosmic ray (GCR) intensity observed with a global network of muon detectors on…

Cosmic rays (CRs) are a ubiquitous non-thermal component of the interstellar medium (ISM). A data-driven three-dimensional (3D) map of their distribution is essential for understanding CR transport and constraining the spatial distribution…

Compact binary mergers and the collapse of massive stars can produce intense transients observable across high-energy wavelengths. Events such as gamma-ray bursts and kilonova emissions are often accompanied by gravitational wave…
